I still maintain we haven't actually manufactured a run yet. Chi giftwrapped the 2 runs yesterday and tried their best to give us more.
I'm not down on them, but that whole 1st and 3rd, nobody out, and we don't even sniff a run just looks like more of the same old shit to me

This team has a tendency to be really streaky. It will be no different this year. There will be times when they rattle off 6-8 wins in a row and then dump for a whole week.

I don't think it's a question about effort. It's more just playing with some level of intelligence.
In that situation, after Hosmer and Cain got on base... Frenchy swings out of his shoes at 3 straight pitches. Nothing else is expected out of him Tejada pinch hits and draws a walk, which no doubt made just about everyone faint. Poor Ned probably was pissed about this since nobody in the organization seems to value getting on base Gordon flies out going opposite field...worst case scenario, a hitter as good as him need to at least pull a ground ball and get the run home from 3rd Escobar strikes out A decent team gets that runner home 7 times out of 10. A good team gets that runner home 9 times out of 10 and likely scores more than 1

Keitzman said yesterday he saw a stat from last year where we were one of the hardest teams to sweep in the league, that only having happened four times (hard to believe, actually).
So we have that going for us. |

Dyson is in for Cain today, batting 8th. The rest of the lineup is basically the same with some moving up.
Gordon 7 Escobar 6 Butler DH Moustakas 5 Perez 2 Hosmer 3 Francoeur 9 Dyson 8 Getz 4 I think Chicago is using the same lineup they've been using, but its hard to tell because the stupid gif their twitter account posted to show the lineup is annoying.

They are just pressing too much at the plate. If they would settle down and work the count the hits will come. With Frenchy that's impossible because he's one of the dumbest hitters I've ever seen.
